Couples Therapy
There are bumpy times in all relationships when conflict, dissatisfaction or disappointment may seem overwhelming. We may try the same things over and over, but nothing seems to change. Perhaps you and your partner find yourselves.........
Feeling unhappy, disconnected, angry or taken for granted
Unable to let go of unresolved resentments
Experiencing the same arguments over and over
Having trouble communicating with each other
Struggling to understand and meet each other's needs
Having difficulty with the stresses and frustrations of parenting
Dealing with the painful aftermath of infidelity
Questioning where your relationship is going
Working through the issues involved in recovery from addiction
Sometimes in the midst of turmoil and pain, relationships can be difficult to manage alone. The help of an experienced, objective and supportive therapist can make all the difference in resolving problems that feel insurmountable and changing patterns that are preventing you from having the fulfilling and satisfying relationship that you want.
In my 25+ years as a psychotherapist it has been my privilege to work with and help many different couples, such as:
Couples struggling with intimacy and commitment issues
Heterosexual couples
Lesbian and gay couples
Couples exploring whether or not to stay together
Couples struggling with the transition to parenthood or the empty nest
Couples dealing with the effects of Adult Attention Deficit Disorder
Couples dealing with divorce, re-marriage and blended families
Couples who benefit from being seen individually as well as together
Couples dealing with the pain of loosing a child or the crisis of infertility
Couples that I have worked with have said that therapy has had a huge impact on their lives. They report better communication, more intimacy and closeness, increased ability to work through the inevitable issues all relationships face, and that they feel much more able to understand both themselves and their partner.
Sometimes the hardest part of therapy is making that initial contact, but when you do it is the first step in taking charge of your life and care of yourself. To ask about therapy, to arrange an appointment or to schedule a free telephone consultation, please contact me at 215-763-9631 or
